I really like revolvers. Both double action (on the left) and single action (on the right). I've recently sold off a few to fund military handgun acquisitions but I did just add the S&W Model 14 Target Masterpiece with the 8 3/8" barrel. (The long barrel, single action, on the top of the group photo is a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum with a Bisley grip frame.)

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! - Hunter S. Thompson -

Chiappa Rhino. Chambered in .357-Mag. Very interesting revolver. The round at the BOTTOM of the cylinder is the one fired / lined up with the barrel. This results in far less felt recoil / muzzle flip.

Shooting .38-SPL through it is quite easy. But, even .357-mags aren't bad at all. My S&W 642 Airweight has a much harsher recoil.

Yeah... the trigger "clockwork" is notorious on the Rhino. The result is a trigger pull that is not the greatest (in double action). The "hammer" isn't really a hammer, but rather a cocking lever for single action firing. The cocking lever is notched and also doubles as the rear sight. When firing in either double or single action, the cocking lever does not move. The only time the cocking lever (faux hammer) moves is if the shooter uses it to cock for single-action. The single-action trigger is quite good.

Took a friend to the range today for some instruction. Went to Shoot Straight.
Got there about 12:30pm and there were about 4 guys standing outside the front door. Inside the front door was an employee "gate keeper." Two of the guys outside told us they were waiting for the range. The other...

Monday wondering around the Shoot Straight near Brandon I looked in the used gun Cabinet there was a Wooden Stocked Mossberg 500 just sitting there.
I purchased it on Monday but the FDLE was so backed up I couldn't pick it up till Tuesday.
I called Mossberg to see when it was manufactured and...

Years ago I threw away all my frog lube. I was very disappointed because it seem to gum up and slow down the slide on 1911s.
I called them up a number of months ago and bitched. They had stiffed me as one of the folks promised to send me some sample kits for my local small police department and...

You seldom find anything prettier than a Browning hi power. The finish is amazing as the photographs show. Friend came out to shoot yesterday and I cleaned it for him. I was shocked to see all the machine marks inside such a finely finished pistol.
